  Kim V Glass

 
Kim is a retired teacher who finally has the time to devote to melting glass, playing with metals, and creating one of a kind jewelry pieces. She has worked with glass for over twenty-five years, in one temperature or another. Kim was drawn into the world of borosilicate glass after working soley with soft glass for about four years.  With this glass, boro as it is called, opening the kiln in the morning is always a surprise!  All of Kim's glass has been annealed in a digitally controlled kiln, a very important thing to look for when buying glass jewelry.

Midnight Blossom Bracelet 

By: beadsCraftz 

Lush and sensual, this polymer clay luxury charm bracelet features a host of sculpted petals and velvety blooms. Lilies, roses, and other flowers were crafted petal by petal in cranberry red, burgundy wine, deep maroon, and voluptuous tones of brown. With its roses in various stages from furled buds to full-blown crimson blooms, and its smaller, star-shaped flowers having detailed, textured centers, this bracelet is an intricately detailed work of sculptural art you'll find yourself and others wanting to simply gaze at!

 Little Owl Business Card Holder

By: Made With Clay and Love

This sweet little business card holder has been hand sculpted entirely from a lightweight and durable clay. I do not use molds or cutters. The owls and branch have been painted with acrylics and aged. The entire piece has been given several coats of a glossy sealer, and has been initialed by me at the back.

 Polymer Clay Pendant Beaded Necklace

By: Wired Orchid Jewelry

The subtle, swirled green and black pattern of this polymer clay pendant is a contrast to the necklace's bold design. The triangle pendant is attached to a strand of fire agate beads and copper beads and spacers with a unique, handmade copper bail which has been treated with patina.  The pendant was cured, sanded and buffed to a soft shine. Black textured back with my WO signature stamp. Lobster claw closure. This necklace is a medium 21'' length.

Etsy Finds Friday - Super Cooper Creations

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the 

Handmade Creations by:

  Sydney Cooper

Sydney Cooper is a fifteen year old student in Peotone, IL.  

She has enjoyed crafting ever since she can remember, she is quite an amazing artist.  

I love her work and am happy to feature her today!

 

In Sydney's own Words:

Crafting has been a passion of mine as far as I can remember.  My shop contains handmade items using several different mediums- scrapbooking, knitting, dollmaking, clay work, etc. My shop is looked over by my mom, Donna Cooper, during the day while I am at school.  She also has an Etsy Shop and can be reached there if needed: http://www.etsy.com/shop/cooperdolls  

 

 

Below are a few wonderful creations by Sydney.  Enjoy!

 

 

Antique Polymer Clay "Music to my Ears" Pendant

The star pendant is created by using sculpting tools and techniques. In the crevasses and textured points, acrylic paint is used to accent the texture and color. The black/brown paint makes the pendant look antique and primitive.  This pendant has a heart and music notes for design. Just about every color in the rainbow is used in this piece: red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and golds. The softened hues will provide the amount of whimsy just right for your outfit. 

 

 

 Tropical Flower Pendant

This pendant is made using skinner blends and a caning technique. Canes were used to finish off the back and a handmade bead is used as a closure.  This pendant is an 2 inches wide and is in the shape of a flower. The fiber necklace will match a variety of different colors. The bead in the back of the necklace adjusts so you can wear this pendant at a variety of different lengths. This pendant was made with a lot of love and would be a perfect gift for anyone on your shopping list! There was a lot of time put into it, but you have to remember to handle it with care. It would be shipped in a handmade box for easy gift giving! 

 

 

 

 Amber

This doll is made using a wire armature and stands at about 14 inches. The wire armature allows you to position the doll in any way you wish. Her face has been painted with colored pencils and markers, It also has been rubbed with pearl powders. Amber's hair is genuine llama. She also has a floral beaded headband. It contains 14 beaded flowers and crystals and a day's worth of work.  Her legs, skirt, bodice, and shoes have been painted and dyed with the finest of supplies.  Her shoulders have been decorated with lace and her neck is beaded extensively. The bodice has been painted, rubbed with pearl powders, and then free motioned with bits and pieces of shiny fabric. Her chest has also been embellished with beaded flowers. The skirt is dyed silk. The overskirt is made using pieces of organza. The skirt has been further embellished with baubles with unique beading on each one. Around the wrists are peyote, hand beaded cuffs. The cuff around her left hand also has a beaded flower on it.  Her shoes have also been free motioned with tendrils running up her legs.  Finally, Amber is holding a silk cocoon that has been dyed and beaded. The wings are made using a single piece of organza that has once again been free motioned. The doll took 40+ hours of work! I hope you enjoy her!
